When you choose Breakwater Metaland for galvanising services, we first clean the material thoroughly, removing unwanted oils and debris. Then, we dip the steel into a bath of molten zinc chemical, and allow the steel to reach the temperature of 450°C to 465°C. After the steel has been galvanised, we then withdraw the work at a controlled rate and cool the steel, allowing the protective coating to set.

The resulting galvanised coating is tough and durable, comprising relatively of pure zinc and zinc iron alloy layers bonded metallurgically to the underlying steel, completely covering the article and providing unmatched resistance to abrasion.
